Abstract

PURPOSE:To inform the residual quantity of a data during reception at present to other reception request source when other reception request comes during the reception. CONSTITUTION:Since a data processing section 3 at a sender side adds a message data representing data quantity to a transmission data prior to transmission of the data and sends the added data, a receiver side data processing section 3 recognizes the residual quantity of the data received after that from the message data. Thus, the receiver side data processing section 3 sends the message data representing the residual quantity when other reception request comes to other reception source from a message data output section 6 by using a call-waiting telephone function to inform rough time to be in the receptible state.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a facsimile transmitting/receiving device, and more particularly to a facsimile transmitting/receiving device having a message sending function.

0002

[Prior Art] Conventionally, this type of facsimile transmitting/receiving device sends a call signal to the facsimile transmitting/receiving device of the recipient, and only sends out image data when it is confirmed that the recipient's facsimile transmitting/receiving device is in a state capable of receiving data. Was.

Therefore, if the destination facsimile transmitter/receiver is already communicating with another facsimile transmitter/receiver, the sender's facsimile transmitter/receiver hears a busy tone on the attached handset, and the destination facsimile transmitter/receiver All it did was confirm that they were already communicating.

0004

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The above-mentioned conventional facsimile transmitting/receiving device only confirms the communication status of the destination with a busy tone, so the operator of the facsimile transmitting/receiving device must repeat the process until the destination facsimile transmitting/receiving device becomes able to receive the message. Since a transmission operation has to be performed and it is not known when the communication state will end, the operator has to repeat the transmission operation many times, which poses a problem in that the burden on the operator is heavy.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems and Their Effects] The gist of the present invention is to provide a transmission data input section to which transmission data is supplied;
a reception data input section to which reception data is supplied from the outside;
In a facsimile transmitting/receiving device that includes a data processing section, a transmission data output section that outputs transmission data to the outside, and a reception data output section and has a call waiting function, the data processing section stores the transmission data in the transmission data memory in the transmission mode. , check the amount of data, add message data representing the amount of data to the transmission data and supply it to the transmission data output section, find out from the message data the amount of data scheduled to be received in the reception mode, and then check the amount of data for other receptions. When a request is received, the amount of remaining received data is calculated and sent from the message data processing section to another receiving request destination using a call waiting function.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the main configuration of a facsimile transmitting/receiving apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Note that the facsimile transmitting/receiving device 100 has a call waiting function. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a transmission data input section for inputting data sent from the facsimile transmitting/receiving device 100 for confirmation, and a reception data input section 2.
receives data sent from other facsimile transmitting/receiving devices. The data processing section 3 has a function of checking the amount of transmission data using the transmission data memory 4, and the data processing section 3 further includes a transmission data output section 5, a message data output section 6, and a reception data output section. It also has the function of supplying data to 7.

Next, the operation of the facsimile transmitting/receiving apparatus 100 will be explained. First, when transmitting data to another facsimile transmitting/receiving device, data transmitted by the data processing section 3 is taken in from the transmission data input section 1 and temporarily held in the transmission data memory 4. Next, the data processing unit 3 checks the amount of data to be transmitted, and adds a message representing this amount of data to the data to be transmitted. The transmission data to which the message has been added in this way is transferred from the data processing section 3 to the transmission data output section 5, and then sent to another facsimile transmitting/receiving device.

Next, the operation of receiving data from another facsimile transmitting/receiving device will be explained. Received data sent from another facsimile transmitting/receiving device is transferred from the received data input section 2 to the data processing section 3 together with message data representing the amount of added data, and then processed from the received data output section 7. Output for necessary processing.

[0010] Here, if there is a data reception request from another facsimile transmitting/receiving device while receiving data from another facsimile transmitting/receiving device, the data processing device adds data to the data being received. The remaining received data amount is calculated from the message data representing the received data amount and the received data amount, and this is sent as message data to another facsimile transmitting/receiving device requesting reception using the call waiting function to output the message data. Send from 6. Since this message data tells the operator at the other end the approximate time until it becomes receivable, the operator at the other end only needs to resend at the receivable time without having to repeat the sending operation.

[0011]

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, if there is another reception request during reception, a message indicating the remaining amount of data to be received in the future can be sent to the other reception request source. , the operator can know the time to perform the retransmission operation. Therefore, there is no need for the operator to repeatedly perform retransmission operations, resulting in an effect that the burden on the operator can be reduced.

Claims (1)

[Claims] Claims: 1. A transmission data input section to which transmission data is supplied; a reception data input section to which reception data is supplied from the outside; a data processing section; a transmission data output section which outputs transmission data to the outside; A facsimile transmitting/receiving device having a data output section and a call waiting function,
The data processing section temporarily holds the transmission data in the transmission data memory in the transmission mode, checks the amount of data, adds message data representing the amount of data to the transmission data, supplies it to the transmission data output section, and receives it in the reception mode. The feature is that the planned data amount is known from the message data, and when another reception request is received, the remaining reception data amount is calculated and sent from the message data processing section to the other reception request destination using the call waiting function. A facsimile transmitting and receiving device.
